As a way of getting over her pain, she heads back to the bar and decides to get up to old tricks, drinking with a girl there. Unable to hold it together, Jackie heads home and wallows in grief. As they celebrate with cheers and exclamations of “#blessed”, the echoed voices cut us back to the present as Jackie looks over the dead body of Junior and struggles not to feel emotional. The season 1 finale of Hightown begins with a flashback to the past as Jackie and Junior sit together drinking and discussing his baby. At the heart of this though are our two protagonists who, as we see from this episode, haven’t really learned anything or grown as characters across this season. After a week’s hiatus we’re back as Hightown (which has already been renewed for a second season of course) bows out with an open ending and lots of unanswered questions.
